Finishing Grip
« on: July 23, 2009, 03:23:00 PM »
Here is a tool I made to hold a bow while I'm spraying a finish.

 

I rest the bow on the nails and tie it in place.

 

For drying, I just clamp one of the ends in my vice.

I can flip the bow around and get a good look at everything without worrying about fingerprints.  It does leave 4 little pin pricks in the handle, but they're covered by the leather wrap.

Well done Kieth!!
